At the end of the first year of Zhongping, Liu Jian finally received an order from the imperial court. The Shangshutai dismissed him from his post as Jizhou Mu and ordered Liu Jian to return to the capital as soon as possible.
This incident had long been anticipated by Liu Jian.
However, in terms of time, Liu Hong did allow himself to serve as Jizhou Shepherd for a few more months, much longer than Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo.
The matter of the Zhenyi Army has been resolved, and the wealth invested by King Changshan was withdrawn from the confiscated properties of the three wealthy families and returned.
After the supplies ordered from the Zhen family were collected from the wealthy families, they were all given to the widows and family members of the Zhenyi Army.
Those weapons and armor were used to organize new rebels, but the original rebel leader Zhao Jun could no longer use them.
Zhao Jun's fraud by the rebels was originally a capital crime, but because of his circumstances, the imperial court ordered the Chancellor to issue an order to allow Liu Jian to handle the matter as appropriate.
But no matter what, it is understandable that Zhao Jun is guilty. Even if he wants to reduce his guilt, he must be punished.
Liu Jian's final decision was to let Zhao Jun serve as Dai Zui's companion and go to the border camp of the Liaodong vassal state to confine his troops.
In the Liaodong vassal state, Guan Yu was stationed there, and a letter from Liu Jian would at least enable Zhao Jun to be taken care of by Guan Yu there, and he would be punished, but at least he would not suffer too much.
Everyone was convinced by Liu Jian's arrangement and had no objections.
There is no doubt that if Liu Jian comes to Changshan to climb high in the future, the Changshan Rebel Army will definitely help him.
"Uncle Fang is really willing to take me in and wait for the real Ding Erlang?"
For Liu Jian, he can completely ignore it and no one will make irresponsible remarks.
Zhao Yun, who was at the front of the group of young men, said loudly: "My father-in-law, is it too late for Yun to arrive?"
Liu Jian hurriedly helped the two teenagers up.
The Changshan Rebels and the people of Zhending also remembered the name of Jizhou Shepherd Liu Jian because of this incident.
Liu Jian and others looked and saw that it was Zhao Yun and more than 30 people heading in the direction of Liu Jian.
"Uncle Fang, Jia Ci has a pension and can survive, all thanks to Uncle Fang. Jia Ci asked me to follow Uncle Fang to repay Uncle Fang for his great kindness! Please also ask Uncle Fang to accept Xiahou Lan!"
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said to Liu Jian: "Uncle Fang saved my Zhao family. My brother's survival is all due to Uncle Fang's upholding justice. It's really Uncle Fang's kindness that our army can get the kindness of the imperial court. Yun is very grateful!"
After seeing Liu Jian, the two young men immediately knelt down on the ground without saying a word.
"After much thought, Yun has no choice but to dedicate his life to Uncle Fang as a slave to repay this great kindness! I just ask Uncle Fang to accept Zhao Yun."
But now, Liu Jian not only took in these young men, but was also willing to treat them as brothers. Regardless of whether this was true or not, it was enough to move them very much.
"What are you two doing? If you have something to say, please get up quickly! Don't kneel down."
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Okay! At noon the day after tomorrow, we will see you at the West County Gate of Nangong County!"
In the hearts of Zhending people, Liu Jian is their hero.
When Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan heard this, they were overjoyed.
After that, Liu Jian looked at the young people present and saw that they were all dressed in white clothes with bird feathers on their heads. He asked curiously: "Why are they dressed like this?"
It will only be necessary to reduce Zhao Jun's crimes in the future if he achieves military exploits.
A group of young people came to Liu Jian, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "I have seen my benefactor!"
"Although Yun is young, he also knows that kindness must be repaid. However, the Zhao family does not have any surplus wealth to give to Uncle Fang. Even if they have surplus wealth, it is difficult to repay Uncle Fang's great kindness with nothing but yellow and white things."
Liu Jian raised his head and looked at the height of the sun, then smiled and said: "It's not yet noon, Zilong is indeed a man of his word!"
But just three days before Liu Jian was preparing to return to Luoyang, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan came from Zhending to Nangong County and asked to see Liu Jian.
…
When I got closer, I saw that they were all dressed in white costumes with white bird feathers on their heads. All the young men held their heads high and their chests high, with solemn faces.
"What are you two...? Alas!"
Liu Jian's words made Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, who were already grateful to him, admire them even more.
Zhao Yun said: "To be honest with Uncle Fang, most of my brothers have the intention to follow Uncle Fang, but the matter is very important. With so many people following Uncle Fang, I don't know if it will hinder Uncle Fang, and this move is not serious."
There are rules and regulations, so Yun stopped them and didn't let them come here."
Zhao Yun asked Liu Jian, "May I ask Uncle Fang, when will we set off for Luoyang?"
Everything in Jizhou came to an end, and Liu Jian was ready to return to Luoyang.
Liu Jian laughed loudly and said: "Why should I lie to you? I said that as long as they are willing, they can stay with me. None of you are my slaves, but my brothers. I treat them as brothers and sisters."
Treat you well!"
It was almost noon, but Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan still hadn't arrived.
At noon the next day, Liu Jian and others came to the west gate of Nangong to wait for Zhao Yun and others.
After all, considering Liu Jian's status, these rebel children are all inferiors.
Or, wait for the amnesty of the world.
Zhao Yun said: "In that case, Lan and I will go back to our hometown and ask our brothers. If there is anyone accompanying us, we will come here together at noon the day after tomorrow to accompany Uncle Fang!"
"Well, since you two have this intention, how can I stop you? Just stay with me from now on, but I don't know how Zilong's group of little brothers are doing now? I heard that most of them are too.
Having lost their loved ones and having no foundation in Zhending, how will they live their lives in the future?"
Liu Jian shook his head helplessly.
While he was talking, he suddenly saw a puff of smoke in the distance.
Liu Jian said: "Let's set off at noon the day after tomorrow!"
Xia Houlan also said loudly:
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Zilong and Xiahoulan are not the ones who broke the promise. Even if they can't summon anyone, they will come here to explain to me. Don't believe me, we will see the result later!"
"
Zhao Jun's younger brother Zhao Yun was even more grateful to Liu Jian.
After a while, everyone came to Liu Jian.
Xu Rong then asked Liu Jian: "Young Master, does it mean that Zhao Yun couldn't summon anyone and was too embarrassed to face Young Master, so he didn't dare to come?"
Liu Jian smiled and said: "A hundred more people is not too many, and a hundred people less is not too few. Since they are all loyal and righteous young men, as long as they are willing to come, let them all follow me. It will be okay!"
"
…
Zhao Yun said: "Since we submit to my father-in-law and are willing to be his followers, we want to dress up in a more eye-catching and powerful manner so as not to lose the reputation of our father-in-law!"
Xia Houlan said: "We did this all by ourselves without the permission of Uncle Fang. If Uncle Fang doesn't like it, we can just go and dress like this ourselves."
Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "No need, this white outfit with feathers on your head is quite in line with the temperament of young heroes like you. Let's do this. I will name you. From now on, you will
You can call yourself Bai Zhenshi and belong to my Liu family in Zhuo County!"
White man?
When all the young people heard this, they were startled for a moment, and then they all raised their hands to Liu Jian and said, "Thank you for giving me the title! In the future, they will all call themselves White Guardsmen."
Wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival and continue tomorrow
